I am getting a lot of use out of the Recipe Index on my site, can you tell? It’s so much easier to locate all these “hidden” treasures.

I like outlining some cookies for those who don’t prefer a lot of icing…

Since the maple extract has a beige coloring when mixed in the icing I added a few drops of white food coloring to brighten it up a bit and I’m so glad I did, the cookies had an antique white look.

oh and some minis that were so cute!

These were my husbands favorites, he said they reminded him of Lennox China with the details added, I had fun playing around with the remaining icing and kept piling it on 🙂 more of a haphazard way, but they turned out cute.

oops sorry about that, I’ve using a new recipe area and it’s not meant for two recipe on one post, so it deletes the numbers.
2 cups powdered sugar
2 tablespoons water
1 tablespoon corn syrup
1 teaspoon maple extract
4 drops white Americolor food coloring
Mix all until smooth and pipe onto cooled cookies with #4 tip.

Diane, you hit the nail on the head with these, I love love walnuts, they are my favorite, I usually use ground walnuts but chopped sounds even better I like a little crunch. Thanks for sharing Diane!♥

Hi Patricia, I’m not sure what “links” you are clicking on. Here is the link to the post http://www.createdby-diane.com/2012/04/maple-walnut-cut-out-cookies-with-maple-icing.html The printable instructions are in pink, and have a print button. I’d love to know where the trouble is so that I can fix it. If you could let me know more details that would be great. I thought maybe you landed on a photo url and not the post, but that isn’t the case as your comment is on the post so I’m confused. Please email me createdbydianeblog@verizon.net Thank you. I could not be having an issue as I’m the admin on the site. Would love to know where the problem is.

I place the icing in a piping bag fitted with a coupler and round tip #2 or #3. Then pipe on the icing in the desired decoration. You can find those types of supplies at baking supply stores or online.
